TELLING STORIES that are COMPLETELY YOURS.
In order to tell your story, we want to get to know you. The real you. We want to know what makes you tick as a couple. We want to know your nicknames for each other, the weird things you do to make each other laugh, which one of you leaves your wet towel on the floor, what your favorite shows are, and even what you’re doing together this weekend. And, of course, we want you to know us, as well! It’s a two-way street, you know!

Team
WE're kristin and austin - husband and wife team.
To be honest, we don’t like talking about ourselves too much (we’d much rather talk about you), but we think it’s super important to vibe with our couples so here’s a few things that jazz us up!
MEET KRISTIN - Photographer, second videographer, editor, coffee enthusiast
Kristin is the heart and soul of 821 Film Co. Her true love for photography began while she was working on a cruise ship in the Hawaiian Islands. After she moved back to the lower 48, she officially started her first photography business, Kristin Elise Photo. It has since grown and is now becoming the foundation of 821 Film Co. She has always had a passion for movies and music and never misses a chance to get creative.
Kristin loves houseplants, her fur babies, taking overlanding trips in her Jeep Wranger, and relaxing in cozy clothes with a good movie or book.
MEET AUSTIN - Videographer, second photographer, junior editor, Harry Potter trivia extraordinaire.
Austin is the husband of the heart and soul of 821 Film Co. His first love was music - especially music production. Being a certified audio engineer, he had an amazing platform from which to start his journey into the world of videography.
Austin loves writing music, cooking, working with his hands and building things, and reading Harry Potter over and over and over again.

A husband and wife photo and video team based in Wichita, Kansas. But when we tell you we are available worldwide, you can bet we mean it! Travel is an intense passion of ours. Want us to meet you in Italy? You got it. Cabo? Searching flights now.
We also love the outdoors! We love hiking, camping, exploring national parks in our Jeep, or even just sitting out on our back deck with our two dogs. Speaking of doggos, we are utterly obsessed with them. We have two rescues named Hank and Penny and if you have any dogs, we are absolutely begging you to bring them along! If we aren’t hanging out with the dogs or enjoying the outdoors, most likely we are relaxing at home with a good movie.
